Duval
County is Florida's 4th county, established on August 12, 1822,
from a segment of St. Johns County. It
gains its name from William Pope DuVal (1784-1854), the first Territorial
Governor of Florida. The capitol was established in Tallahassee during his
time in office. Jacksonville, named after Andrew Jackson, is the county seat.
Historic sites in this county include the Kingsley Plantation and the Fort
